Developments in the use of diffusion tensor imaging data to investigate brain structure and connectivity

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a specialist MRI modality that can identify microstructural changes or abnormalities in the brain. It can also be used to show fibre tract pathways. Both of these features were used in this thesis. Firstly, standard imaging analysis techniques were used to study the...
